Tony,
I searched the Forums and found this list. Not sure if any more
moderators have been added.

So here they are, a list of the hard working folks who moderate your
posts. Please don’t criticise anyone personally, as these people stop
the plague of flames we had in the bad old Xeno' days 🙂 ....
Not all these people moderate posts, but they all can if they wish.
**Remember**, most ‘pawn stars’ can post without moderation.

Tony,
I'd argue that letting Tuco's post through is ok. Yes, an offensive post, but
I'd argue still within the bounds. No "sanctioned" words, just a stunning lack
of sympathy.
Dave did choose to go public with his current difficulties; this means he must
be willing to accept both the support that most of us here offer him - AND the
occasional nasty comment from the likes of Tuco.
In fact, I'd go so far as to say that trying to ban retorts like Tuco's would
diminish from Dave's courage in admitting the problems he is trying to
overcome. Part of why standing up and admitting to problems takes courages is
BECAUSE it means your are willing to take knocks from people over it. Fact is,
it is the chance of responses like Tucos that make what Dave has admitted to
us an act of courage. In some ways, banning responses like Tuco's would
actually be a disservice to Dave.
In my eyes, Tuco's comments do nothing except show that Tuco is deeply
sociopathic. It doesn't reflect onto Dave. As such, letting the post through
just helps us all realize what a pathetic creature Tuco is.
